Chapter 427: Laughter in the Dry Well
Tian Qingqing didn't dare to say that she didn't know how to see the incense, and she couldn't reveal that she was shrouded in a wall of space, and she was not afraid to walk at night. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "I have had the experience of catching ghosts at night, and they are unwilling to let me come at night." It's better if it stays on in normal times. You know, master, my father is sick, and there is a shortage of manpower in the family, and I don't want to delay it for a long time. β
Ye Ruzhu glanced at Tian Qingqing: "What?" Do you want to go back after you're done? β
Tian Qingqing said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of walking at night." β
Ye Ruzhu glared at her and said angrily: "I'm not afraid to go back at night." Don't say you're a little girl, I'm a big girl, and I don't dare to go out alone at night. For the sake of you, I'll accompany you on a trip. β
After speaking, he shouted into the house: "Boy, father, you can take the little donkey cart and go with us." β
Ye Ruzhu's husband is a very honest middle-aged man, after listening to Ye Ruzhu's instructions, he didn't hum or ha, and silently put the little donkey cart on the set.
Tian Qingqing saw that the bicycle could not fit on the small row car, so she insisted on riding it by herself. Ye Ruzhu forcibly pushed him into the house and said to Tian Qingqing angrily: "As long as I follow, you don't want to go home at night." Come back with me after you finish the Fa, and then you'll leave here when it's dawn. β
The corners of Tian Qingqing's mouth twitched, and she didn't dare to be aggressive.
The little donkey cart walked very slowly (maybe Tian Qingqing felt it), and when it reached Nanwu Village, there were no more people on the street.
After coming to the victim's house, Tian Qingqing introduced the master to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman showed great enthusiasm: The little god mother has been rumored to be a god, and with her master, the demon will definitely be able to get rid of it tonight.
Ye Ruzhu was not restrained, and asked the middle-aged woman for a handful of incense and an incense burner, and looked at the incense in the hall.
The incense was lit for a short while. Ye Ruzhu asked, "Is there an abandoned earthen well in your backyard?" β
The husband of the middle-aged woman said, "Yes. I used to grow a vegetable garden in my backyard. Later, the capital ~ this ~ Lord ~ righteous tail, and it was not planted again. In recent years, the groundwater table has been deep, and it has long become a dry well. Afraid that the children would fall in, they covered their mouths with stone slabs. β
Ye Ruzhu: "The problem is in that well. You go and move the slate away, and my apprentice and I will do things in the backyard. None of you will go over, and we will come to you what you need. Oh, give us a flashlight. β
The middle-aged woman quickly handed over the flashlight. And said politely: "There is an electric light at the back door." Open or not? β
Ye Ruzhu waved his hand: "No." β
After speaking, he led Tian Qingqing to the backyard.
Ye Ruzhu closed the back door, sighed and whispered to Tian Qingqing: "I have seen it." There's dirt in the dry well in this backyard. And I can already see what that is. β
Tian Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think secretly: It seems that the god mother and mother are not pretentious when they look at the incense, and there is really knowledge in it. It's a pity that I don't know anything about this, and I'm afraid that I'm naΓ―ve to be laughed at. Only if you don't know how to pretend to understand. Push it to a work error.
Tian Qingqing blinked her eyes and said, "I didn't pay attention just now." What the hell is that? β
"That's a ghost baby." Ye Ruzhu still whispered.
Ghost Baby?
This Tian Qingqing knows. In my previous life, I read fantasy novels, and I didn't read much about it.
In the book, it is written that ghost babies are a well-known kind of murderous creatures, including the souls of babies who have been aborted, stillborn, or died soon after birth.
Ghost babies are also known as 'infant spirits'. Or 'the Son of Water'. It is not a human, not a ghost, not a god, not a demon, and is an object that stays in the yin and yang realm until it has reached the end of its yang life. in order to be officially included in the ghosts.
No wonder I can't see it with my dark eyes, and I can't feel it. It turned out to be such a thing that wasn't anything.
But how can there be ghost babies in the backyard of the house? People usually bury dead children or miscarriages outside the village, right? What's going on?
Just when Tian Qingqing was wondering, Ye Ruzhu said again: "Maybe the young woman in her family doesn't love herself, and she didn't want people to find out after the miscarriage, so she threw the baby into the well, which is really a sin." β
Ye Ruzhu said, turned on the flashlight, and shone into the yard, there was a pile of wood in the south, a firewood stack in the west, two xiazi in the north, and an empty field in the east, so the two of them walked to the east side.
Passing by a pile of wood, a small clearing appeared in front of them, there were no weeds around the clearing, and under the reflection of the flashlight beam, Tian Qingqing saw a brick well in the clearing. There was a stone slab next to the well, and the mouth of the well was wet, and it seemed that it had just been opened.
Just as the two of them were about to approach the mouth of the well, suddenly, two children's laughter came from the well.
Tian Qingqing was frightened: Didn't you say that there was crying at night? Why did they come and laugh instead? Could it be that this ghost baby is provoking them? Or is it because the manhole cover was lifted?
Tian Qingqing was about to walk over to take a look, but was stopped by Ye Ruzhu.
"What's wrong? Aren't we going to look at the well? Tian Qingqing asked puzzled.
Ye Ruzhu frowned and said, "This matter is tricky, don't approach the wellhead first, listen to me first." β
Ye Ruzhu pulled Tian Qingqing back to the wood, picked a thick piece of wood and sat down, and asked, "Did you hear the laughter?" β
Tian Qingqing nodded: "Well, I heard it." β
"It's going to be tricky tonight, and it's impossible for you to do it quickly." Ye Ruzhu glanced at Tian Qingqing: "That ghost baby will laugh, which means that it is no longer an ordinary ghost baby, and it may be difficult to subdue it." People haven't rested yet, and we're making too much noise to disturb our neighbors. It seems that we have to wait until the dead of night to do it. β
Although Tian Qingqing was anxious, she was really helpless when she encountered this situation. What's more, the bicycle was also detained by the master, even if he went back earlier, it was impossible to go home, and he could only go to the space to see his parents after the master fell asleep.
But this time, tonight is written. With the master by your side, don't even think about going anywhere!
But there is no way, if you respond to other people's affairs, you have to solve them, no matter what, you can't lose faith in the pilgrims!
So he said, "But it's up to the master's arrangement." When you say you can do it, you can do it whenever you want. It's just that the uncle is still in the car, so let's find a room for him to rest. β
Ye Ruzhu shook his head: "No." Now that the weather is warm, there is a quilt on the car that we are sitting on, and he can't freeze. It had been like this in the past, and he knew how to do it. At this time, I will tell you about the precautions for removing demons in the well. β
Seeing Tian Qingqing nodded, she looked like she was listening carefully. Ye Ruzhu continued: "From what you did just now. I know you probably haven't experienced anything like it yet.
"Because the well is the closest channel to the 'bottom' and is connected to the ground all year round, the old wells have the purpose of communicating with the 'bottom'.
"And the ghost in the well. Because of this convenience, it is also different from ordinary revenants. If you are wronged a little in life, you are very likely to become a ghost after death, and your revenge is quite strong.
You may not be able to understand that. I'll give you an example:
"My mother's family and my grandmother are god's mothers, and Sanli Wuzhuang is very famous.
"Early one morning. A man from a neighboring village came to me in a hurry and told my grandmother that his daughter-in-law seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and kept kowtowing to a well at the head of the village. No one can pull it up. Let my grandma hurry up and see what's going on.
"My grandmother was a warm-hearted person, as long as someone called, no matter what she was busy with. will leave their work behind and go with the people who come.
When my grandmother got there, she saw the man's daughter-in-law kowtowing to the well with a frightened face. He kowtowed and said, 'Mom, I'm sorry for you!' Mom, I'm sorry for you!! β
The woman kept kowtowing, her head broke, and she didn't stop, muttering the words over and over again.
When my grandmother saw this, she knew that the woman was not possessed, but charmed by a ghost. Lost the nature of the heart.
"If a person is fascinated by external forces, the fire of the three souls in his body will slowly drain away, and in the end, he will definitely die.
Seeing this, my grandmother didn't dare to slack off, and while chanting the incantation, she put a piece of talisman paper on the woman's neck. Suddenly, the woman fainted.
The man carried the woman home, and my grandmother followed. It didn't take long for the woman to wake up. After knowing that I was woken up by my grandmother, I told my grandmother what she had experienced.
It turned out that her mother-in-law had a very rude temper and often beat and scolded her as a daughter-in-law. And said no, whatever she told her to do, she had to go immediately, and if she didn't go, she would be beaten and scolded.
One day, her mother-in-law had a dream in which she saw a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the well at the head of the village, and when she woke up, she asked her daughter-in-law to go down to the well and fetch it for her.
Her daughter-in-law doesn't know how to go down to the well, and she knows that there is only one way to die. No matter how cowardly he is, he doesn't dare to disobey his mother-in-law, and he won't agree to this.
The daughter-in-law said that she would not go, and the old lady was so angry that she went out for a walk alone after scolding her at home.
But he never came back. It wasn't until the evening, when someone was fetching water, that the old lady's body was found floating in the well.
"Because the old lady is usually flying at home, whoever wants to disobey her a little bit, she jumps into the well and hangs her neck, and every time she is stopped by her family or neighbors even with persuasion, there is no fact. After a long time, the neighbors saw that she was blackmailing her son and daughter-in-law, so they didn't take it seriously.
"I didn't think it would come true this time. After listening to the daughter-in-law's story, people felt that this old lady was too unreasonable, and no one was held responsible, and the funeral was carried out according to the normal death.
"For a long time after that, no one dared to drink the water from that well......" (To be continued) (To be continued)
